Everyone has bad days, but 0/18 is terrible.
Even an ordinary system should pick at least 1 or 2 out of 18.


Not necessarily Grasscutter - it depends on what types of bets you are targetting. My own system only gave me 1 winner from 32 bets last Thursday (with 24 straight losses) BUT I bet win only on horses paying between $8 and $20 so you have to allow for this type of losing streak. The other 3 betting days last week were all very good so I ended up well in front for the week. This is why I say that each of my individual bets is a gamble but my system is actually an investment - it gives me a positive return in the long run.

Happy investing/gambling :smile:
